Y=4x because 20/5 equals 4
No you wouldn’t it would be a different answer
<span>b^4 − b^3 + b − 1
=(</span><span>b^4 − b^3) + (b − 1)
= b^3(b - 1) + (b - 1)
=(b - 1)(b^3 + 1)</span>
2x + 4 = 12
We're simply just trying to isolate x.
So, we must get x onto it's own side of the equal sign :)
Our first step is to subtract 4 from both sides.
2x + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4
Simplify.
2x = 8
Then, we divide both sides by 2.
2x ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2
Simplify.
x = 4
----------
To check your work, simply plug in the value of x into x in the original equation.
In this problem, x = 4, so plug in 4 for x.
2x + 4 = 12
2(4) + 4 = 12
Simplify.
8 + 4 = 12
12 = 12
Therefore, x = 4
~Hope I helped!~
